He will file for free agency as soon as the WS ends.

They really never said much about him this season... what were his stats?

Re: Barry Bonds to become a free agent

Something like .250, 26 HR, 75 RBI. He had that ridiculous OBP though, I think in the .450 range.

EDIT: .270, 26 HR, 77 RBI, .454 OBP to be exact.

Not really anything earth-shattering... but someone will overpay for him... He'll probably go to the AL though.

Re: Barry Bonds to become a free agent

He started hitting with more power in the 2nd half, plus he still gets a ridiculous amount of walks. He could be a dangerous DH in the AL, but he can't really play in the field much longer. From the article sounds like he wants to stay out west as he shows interest in the Angels and Dodgers.

Go back home Barry! (to the Buccos)

I have a hard time believing ANY team, let alone Dodger fans would embrace a player like Barry Bonds. He's best served to stay in SF where he acutally receives support.

Barry will stay with the Giants, this is just a formality.

Re: Barry Bonds to become a free agent

He'll probably be back with the Giants.

One of the rumors I have read is that the Giants will lowball him and the word is out to other teams to not give him an offer. Either forcing him retire or swallow his pride and play for small money.

I like the circular path it would take his career tho. In all honesty he'll either be a Giant or retired.

Thanks to HGH, he'll be a giant regardless.

I agree. He's not going anywhere.....just a formality.

Re: Barry Bonds to become a free agent

He'll be given a small contract... if he accepts he plays for the Giants, if not, he'll go nowhere. No other team will touch him. There's too much history, pride, etc, left in baseball for any other team to touch him. In other sports I'd say it's a different story, football, basketball... not in baseball. Or so I'm hoping.....

Would you rather have Hank Aaron or Barry Bonds holding the All-Time HR mark? Stupid question........
